About
Orkid (SWC-OO-8826)Orkid is rumoured to be
the most
intelligent orca in captivity. She knows many signals and is really
smart. But despite of her intelligence she can be also rather
aggressive. She attacked many of her trainers and now like Kasatka, she is being watched.
It’s not sure if she will be re-introduced to
waterworks again.
In her life she had to deal with many losses; her father died just 3 days after her birth and her mother died after a fight with Corky at the age of 11 motnsh. Orkid she grew up under the wonderful care of Corky and Kasatk; she also bonded with an orca male at her age, Splash*. Unfortunately Splash* died in 2005, which affected Orkid very much.
Although she is capable of having a calf, she has never got pregnant yet. She was AI’ed several times but it hasn’t taken so far. She has proven to be a good mother, when
she cares for Kasatka’s calves. So hopefully she will have her own calves someday.
